Discovering, Creating, Problem-Solving, or All Three?"

Hi, my name is Ray Lewis, best known as Chris. We are going to talk about something I want to create. That something is a golden football. When I create the golden football, I will hide it because it is none of your business. If you find it you will be able to throw 100 yards. Creating something, like discovering something, is cool!

PROBLEM:
How Do We Build a Catapult?
ASK:
What is Our Challenge?
The Angry Bird Competition is on … Angry Bird and Piggy Friends unite! To retrieve your stolen eggs, Angry Birds, your team will need to build a catapult with only the materials provided to you, as outlined in the following steps of this “Small Group Challenge: Marshmallow Catapults”: Challenge: Each group will design and build a marshmallow catapult using the following materials: 1 meter of masking tape; 2 plastic cups; 4 rubber bands; 2 plastic spoons; 2 paper clips; 15 cm x 15 cm piece of cardboard; large (standard size) and small (mini size) marshmallows to launch. Goal: Launch a marshmallow at least 5 meters (in the air) and not outside of a ½ meter width. What is a Catapult?

A catapult is a war object before guns. They were used to attack the enemy forces. It gets it energy from its crank. The things I would use to make my catapult are spoons, pencil, and popsicle sticks.
IMAGINE:
What are Some Solutions?
What is the Best Possible Solution?
Why did Our Team Choose This Solution?

Some of our solutions that we used were having a cup to stop our spoon from flicking around the place. The solution that we chose was all of our solutions combined together. We chose this solution because we did not want people to feel bad there solution did not get used.
PLAN:
What is a Diagram / Orthographic Design of Our Prototype?
CREATE:
What does Our Finished Construct Look Like?
IMPROVE:
What works, what doesn't work, and what could work better from Our Testing?
What are We going to do to address the Challenges We Faced with Our Construct?

Our challenge is make a catapult. The three catapults that we researched are the Ballisai, Trebuchet, and the Mangonel. We chose parts of our each of team members’ designs. We did this design because we wanted everyone to get a chance.
